unrealized G/L on trading securities are recognized on the income statement
How are unrealized G/L on available-for-sale securities recognized?

List three conditions when losses on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are recognized in income.
- sale of the security
- transfer of the security to trading classification
- other than temporary decline of individual security below cost (impairment)
When a marketable equity security is transferred from trading to AFS, or vice versa, at what cost is it transferred?
- transferred at FV, which then becomes new basis
- for a security transferred into the trading category, the difference is treated as a realized G/L and is recognized on the I/S
- for a security transferred from the trading category, the unrealized holding G/L will already have been recognized in earnings

Note: transfers to and from the trading category should be rare
How are G/L on financial instruments that hedge trading securities reported?
reported in earnings, consistent with reporting unrealized G/L on trading securities
How are G/L on financial instruments that hedge AFS securities reported?
reported in earnings together with the offsetting G/L on the AFS securities attributable to the hedged risk
What disclosures should be made for AFS and HTM securities?
- aggregate FV
- gross unrealized holding G/L
- amortized cost basis by type
- information about the contractual maturity of debt securities
State the criteria to consolidate subsidiaries
- consolidate when the parent is able to control the subsidiary. Usually this is indicated by greater than 50% ownership of the voting stock of the subsidiary
- do not consolidate when control is not with the owners (as in bankruptcy of subsidiary)
Identify the three levels of control and the appropriate accounting method for each.
No significant influence:
- cost method; trading or AFS securities, at FV

Significant influence but 50% or less ownership:
- equity method

Control:
- cost or equity method (internal accounting)
- consolidated financial statements (external reporting)
How is the year-end "investment in investee" reported on the B/S calculated under the equity method?
Beginning investment
+ Investor's share of earnings
- Investor's share of dividends
- Amortization of FV differences
= Ending Investment
How is an investor's equity method investment reported on the income statement?
Investor's share of earnings
- Amortization of FV differences
= Equity in earnings/investee income
How are joint ventures accounted for under IFRS and GAAP?
Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method under both GAAP and IFRS
In a step-by-step acquisition, what is the accounting treatment when significant influence is acquired?
- going from the cost method to the equity method is handled like a change in accounting principle - retroactively
- go back retroactively with the equity method but not with the new ownership %
- prior period financial statements are restated
When are consolidated financial statements prepared?
when the parent company has control over the subsidiary company (more than 50% of voting stock is owned directly or indirectly and no bankruptcy or reorganization)
In Acquisition Accounting, state the consolidating workpaper elimination entry (CARINBIG)
-Common stock - sub
-APIC - sub
-R/E - sub
---- Investment in sub
---- Noncontrolling interest
-B/S adjustments to FV
-Identifiable intangibles to FV
-Goodwill (or credit Gain)
How are expenses relating to the combination treated under the acquisition method?
- direct out-of-pocket costs are expensed
- stock-related costs are a reduction in value of the stock issued (debit to APIC)
- indirect costs are expensed
- bond issue costs are capitalized and amortized
In an acquisition, how are acquired identifiable intangible assets amortized?
- finite useful life: amortized to residual value over expected useful life
- indefinite useful life: do not amortize
How is goodwill calculated under the GAAP acquisition method?
- goodwill is the excess of the FV of the sub over the FV of the sub's net assets, including intangibles at FV
- Goodwill = FV of sub - FV of sub's net assets
- goodwill recorded in a business combination is not amortized. The entire investment is subject to the impairment test
How is goodwill calculated under the IFRS acquisition method?
- goodwill is recognized under the full goodwill method (same as GAAP) or the partial goodwill method
- under the partial goodwill method, goodwill is the excess of the acquisition cost over the FV of the sub's net assets acquired
- Partial goodwill = Acq. cost - FV of sub's net assets acquired
How is noncontrolling interest (B/S) calculated under GAAP?
NCI = FV of sub x NCI%
How is noncontrolling interest (B/S) calculated under IFRS?
Full goodwill: NCI = FV of sub x NCI%

Partial goodwill: FV of sub's net identifiable assets x NCI%
How is noncontrolling interest on the income statement calculated?
Sub net income
x Noncontrolling income %
= NCI in net income
In a business combination, what is the treatment of an acquisition in which the acquisition cost is less than the FV of 100% of the net assets acquired?
acquisition cost is allocated to the FV of 100% of the B/S accounts and the FV of the identifiable intangible assets. This creates a negative balance in the acquisition account, which is recorded as a gain.

Describe push down accounting
Reports assets and liabilities at FV in separate F/S of subsidiary. In effect, consolidation adj are "pushed down" into the records
- assets and liabilities are adj to fair market value at date of acquisition
- R/E of the sub are transferred to paid-in capital
- NI of each sub included depr, amort, and interest expense based on FV rather than historical cost
- the SEC requires push down accounting for each "substantially wholly owned subsidiary"
